Constructed in the 1930 ''''''s and recently renovated, this classic, West Virgina farmhouse located in Lost City/Lost River is sure to warm your heart. Hardwood floors, antique fixtures, a gas cast iron stove and comfortable furniture provide a casual, country atmosphere. The location provides breathtaking vistas of the mountains from every window, the screened porch and large back deck.

The house sits on a paved road and is surrounded by thirteen acres and has 5 resident goats. Beyond that and within walking distance are the rest of the thousands of acres that make up the George Washington National Forest.

Three great bedrooms make the home perfect for families or couples - two rooms each with a queen bed and a third room with one twin bed. All beds have down comforters and crisp linens. There are two full baths, one upstairs and one down. Soak in the claw foot tub with windows that overlook the mountains and catch a glimpse of the deer and wild turkeys. Fluffy towels and bath pillow are provided.

There is a fully equipped kitchen with microwave, dishwasher, toaster, coffee maker, etc. Kitchen comes stocked with Starbucks coffee, cream and sugar - the essentials. There is a washer and dryer in the basement if you need it.

Watch satellite TV or listen to satellite radio or do some star gazing with the telescope provided on the back deck. Or just enjoy sitting by the fireplace, take a nap, read a book, all without ever leaving the property.

Well-mannered pets permitted with an additional deposit. Backyard is completely fenced (no goats in the dog area) and there is a dog door for dogs under 30 lbs.

We stayed in the cottage and couldn't have been more pleased with the accommodations. Since our visit occurred during the off season, the weather was not conducive to much outdoor activity. But the cottage was so well appointed we felt right at home. Mark and Phil were terrific hosts. The muffins were delicious and we really enjoyed the chickens and goats. It was so nice to visit a place where feeding the animals is encouraged. :) This was a relaxing weekend getaway. We highly recommend!

Simply the best!
